What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Show your work. In 2015, the city spent $286 million on non safety from the general fund. In 2025, it's 634 million! What grown up goodies are we really getting for that extra 350 million? You don't think a reasonable person could find 30 million to trim there? Only Austin would consider a permanent tax increase to cover this. It's insanity.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Yes. If non-safety spending increased at the rate of the "overpaid" cops, fire, and EMS over the last decade, we'd have a surplus, not a deficit. I went through the last 10 years of budgets on the city website. Non safety EMS has gone up by about 7-8% every year for a decade. There's a lot of fat there. Easily 30M. This whole charade is laughable, and shouldn't be partisan. And in what way did I imply that the city should spend money only on police and EMS?

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
1) Council can easily find 30M in the general fund budget to cut to avoid this increase. As I discussed on another thread, non public safety spending (police, fire, EMS) has soared over the last decade and should be reigned in. 2) Why care so much about tax rates? The property values in the Austin metro are the highest in the state, so of course rates will be lower. Austin used to have the highest total tax paid by residents per capita of any major metro, and likely still does. Yes, Robin Hood is a disaster. That's no reason to have city raise taxes even more. 3) meh. There are no good guys in any of this.

The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
50/50. Everyone hated him and he had mediocre performance. If he was beloved with the same record, me might have stayed on another year or two. OTOH, if he were 12-0 with a natty, he would still be here. He would just be our asshole.

I don't think Sark is the guy . . . how can anyone look at the program right now, in year 5, and say he is with a straight face? That said, I don't really want him gone. Because we've shown no ability to pick good coaches - most programs suck at it. So I'm the battered wife stuck in a shitty marriage.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I’m gonna guess it’s a crazy homeless guy with a long rap sheet but little prosecution/jail time. Seems to be the pattern.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.

We need grocery stores for people that want/like to shop for their own groceries and warehouse stores for people that want shit brought to your car. you should come to my store. it's a goat fuck.- 2025 Thread of the Rains

Explain this to me like I'm five. I don't manufacture or sell internets. Old school is on premises equipment (like servers and such). Cloud is outsourcing all the hardware/software to someone like AWS. What is a private cloud?- Hubris

How many surls work for AWS? It's fucking up the intertrons today. Any idea when you dorks will fix this shit? - What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
